Endmills

LMT Onsrud has expanded its line of AR endmills designed to provide exceptional performance and tool life within aluminum and nonferrous roughing applications.

IMCO Carbide Tool adds the new AP5 Series of cutting tools to its POW•R•PATH line, revolutionizing the benefits of high-efficiency machining methods to work in aluminum alloys. A unique cutting edge design on all five flutes combines with generous chip evacuation space and an extra durable coating to generate high metal-removal rates.

The new GARANT MasterSteel SlotMachine from the Hoffmann Group is a solid-carbide roughing endmill, which achieves high feed rates when slot milling from solid steel. The innovative knuckle form profile produces extremely compact swarf. Therefore, the Hoffmann Group was able to construct the milling cutter with five cutting edges. As a result, at a constant feed rate per tooth the new five-edge end mill achieves 25 percent higher process efficiency than a classic four-edge endmill.

Tungaloy expands its SolidMeister, a family of solid endmills, to include FeedMeister solid-ceramic endmills. Solid endmill applications are expanding as components are becoming more complex and miniaturized using diverse, difficult-to-cut materials such as heat-resistant superalloys.
